And the winner is …

It might not be the Oscars, but some local real estate deals got their moment in the spotlight at the 11th Greater Richmond Association for Commercial Real Estate awards ceremony at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens.

The big winner for best project was the Residences at the John Marshall, the $77 million, 240-apartment rehabilitation of one of Richmond’s skyline fixtures.

Other big winners included:

* Deal of the Year for a lease: Capital One at Liberty Plaza II

* Deal of the Year for a sale or acquisition: Lingerfelt Development acquisition of Liberty Property Trust Innsbrook portfolio

Great finished product. Having personally worked with Choate(John Talmage and John Helton) and providing the signage, this was a fantastic team effort. Richmond should be very proud of this restored icon.

St. Joseph’s Villa is honored to be included. This amazing project has transformed our campus for better service to children and families with special needs. It has expanded our accessibilty so much that we are doubling our impact from 800 served last year to 1,600 this year! The community is welcome to come and see. Congrats and thanks to all who made this dream a reality.
